Next Meeting:Jan 3 2012 All Staff Meeting - ESU #17 Main Street Office
Then: Feb 3 (LT), May 4 (LT), May 18 (All Staff)
MEETING MINUTES Jeff welcome Dana Whited and Ben Anthony to the meeting.
Board Meeting on November 8th, Jeff reviewed profile for CIP with them. He shared his experience with ESU 8 AdvancED meeting with them. Board members have been invited to come to January 3rd all staff meeting. Administrators and school counselors have also been invited to the January 3rd all staff CIP meeting. The administrator from ESU 8 has provided some feedback about their AdvancEd visit and this has been helpful to guide our Leadership Team.
Discussion Items
Focus Interview (individual school needs assessment interview to determine specific ways ESU can support) possibly implement 2011-2012
Meetings held monthly with individual districts to talk about progress and providing requested services to them. Provides a closer networking relationship with districts. Patty expressed that this allows for addressing school wide goals based on school improvement process through teachers and not only the Advisory council members. In ESU 8 a team of two to three Leadership Team members attend these meetings.
Need to find out when scheduled in-service days are so that Focus Interviews can be added. In-service days may be utilized for other topics and we would need to consult with individual districts to find the best time for Focus Interviews. The Leadership Team will develop and action plan during our February 2012 meeting and plan to begin Focus Interview with districts in the middle of March 2012.
Which members of Leadership Team would attend? Possibly the continuity of one or two Team members with additional service providers that are servicing the district.
The size of our ESU will make this process easier.
The Leadership Team thinks Focus Interviews are a positive way of approaching districts and may need to develop an action plan to pursue this. We may consider starting this second semester.
Department Reviews (ESU department 'evaluations' regarding services provided, conducted by school superintendents) possibly implement 2012-2013
This interview is conducted annually between the Advisory Council and Department Representatives. Discuss with individual departments their involvement with districts. This may be something that is started next year after we establish other aspects of AdvancEd.
Due to our size maybe this needs to be restructured.
Patty expressed that it may be better as a collective review than individual departments; in some cases it may need to be by department (i.e. speech, resource, school psych.).
Tech Plan (implications for Jan 3 All Staff Meeting)
Developed shared Vision Statement. It is a broad statement, but covers the use of technology in every aspect of education.
Each district is not deep into the data analysis. This may be an area that could be addressed during the Focus Interviews for the ESU to assist districts with bringing all of their data together to help make decisions.
The ESU needs to be a leader in technology so that districts know what is available to them. Showing districts how technology can ease their responsibilities.
Helping districts know what data to look at, how to put it together, and how to make decisions using it could be part of our ESU improvement process.
It may be necessary for the ESU to become more educated in MAP data and reports to help schools utilize this information for individual programing for students.
